Always Connected?

“We are now

implicitly and

explicitly connected

to each other.

Mobile phones do

this more than

anything else,

because now our

connectedness

travels with us

everywhere we go.”

Mark Curtis (2005)http://opengardensblog.futuretext.com

The Future...?

“One day every

town in America

will have a

telephone!”

~ U.S. Mayor, (c 1880)

The Future...?

• 1989: ‘The future is multi-media’

• 1999: ‘The future is the Web’

• 2009: ‘The future is smart mobile’

In its current state, the Web is often

described as being in the Lego phase, with

all of its different parts capable of connecting

to one another. Those who envision the next

phase, Web 3.0, see it as an era when

machines will start to do seemingly intelligent

things.

- John Markoff, The New York Times

How will it all connect together?

Web 3.0 is....

“...the Web of Openness. A web that breaks the

old silos, links everyone, everything, everywhere,

and makes the whole thing potentially smarter."

- Greg Boutan

Augmented Reality in education

• Support of seamless interaction between real and virtual learning environments

• The use of a tangible interface metaphor for object manipulation

• The ability to transition smoothly between reality and virtuality

• Collaborative learning from interaction in multiple perspectives
